<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-dis" title="dis: Disassembler for Python bytecode."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">dis</span></tt></a> module supports the analysis of CPython <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-bytecode"><em class="xref std std-term">bytecode</em></a> by
disassembling it. The CPython bytecode which this module takes as an
input is defined in the file <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">Include/opcode.h</span></tt> and used by the compiler
and the interpreter.</p>
<div class="impl-detail compound">
<p><strong>CPython implementation detail:</strong> Bytecode is an implementation detail of the CPython interpreter!  No
guarantees are made that bytecode will not be added, removed, or changed
between versions of Python.  Use of this module should not be considered to
work across Python VMs or Python releases.</p>
